How to play:

The leader calls out: 'Mother’s hand' – everyone spreads their hands forward.

The leader calls out: 'Rocking the baby to sleep' – everyone stretches their arms forward and gently rocks as if cradling a baby.

The leader calls out: 'Mother’s hand' – everyone spreads their hands forward again.

The leader calls out: 'Caring for the baby every day' – everyone cups their hands on their cheeks and tilts their heads.

The leader calls out: 'Warming the baby in winter' – everyone crosses their arms over their chest and sways gently.

The leader calls out: 'Mother’s hand' – everyone spreads their hands forward again.

The leader calls out: 'Mother’s hand' – everyone spreads their hands forward again.

How to play: The leader raises one finger and sings:

• “One wiggly finger (wiggle twice). One wiggly finger, wiggling makes us happy!” – Then raise two fingers and sing the same, now counting 'two fingers.'
• For each additional finger raised, increase the number of wiggles by two (for example, two fingers wiggle four times), continuing up to all five fingers.
• If a player misses a count, they will be penalized.

How to play: The leader points to their head and says 'This is Dad' – points to their cheek and says 'This is Mom' – points below the neck and says 'This is Me'. Players must mimic the leader's gestures. The leader can also say 'Dad and Mom' and the players must use both hands (one pointing to the head and one pointing to the cheek).

How to play: The leader calls out 'Lotus Bud' – players close both hands to form a bud. The leader then calls 'Lotus Flower' – players spread their hands wide to form a blooming lotus shape. The leader calls 'Lotus Leaf' – players spread their hands flat to create the shape of a leaf. When the leader calls 'Lotus Fruit' – players press both hands together to form a fruit. Once everyone understands the movements, the leader says, 'Follow my words, not my actions,' and the game proceeds with the words contradicting the actions. For example, the words may instruct one thing while the leader acts differently. Be aware that the leader will watch carefully and penalize those who make mistakes to keep the game exciting. Variations like 'flower bud,' 'folding hands,' or 'open fists' can also be used.

How to play: The leader introduces the game, which includes three actions: clapping, standing up, and sitting down. When the leader calls 'clap,' everyone claps and follows with one clap. The same applies for the actions of standing up and sitting down. After a trial run, the leader explains the next level of the game (which is trickier): when the leader calls 'clap,' everyone claps, but the action is to stand up. When the leader calls 'stand up,' everyone says 'stand up,' but the action is to sit down. When the leader calls 'sit down,' everyone sits down, but the action is to stand up. The game continues this way. Anyone who makes a mistake will be asked to step out and will face a penalty decided by the leader.

Description:

The leader teaches the group the following positions:

• Stand: Right hand clenched, raised above the head.
• Sit: Right hand clenched, both arms at right angles, hand held in front of the face.
• Lie: Right hand clenched, arm extended forward.
• Sleep: Right hand clenched, pressed against the cheek, and call out: 'snore.'

How to play:

• The leader calls out the positions and actions as described above.
• The leader may either call out correctly or give a misleading command (calling one thing but performing another).
• Players must follow the leader's verbal commands and perform the correct movements.

Rule Violations:

• The following will result in a penalty:
• Performing the wrong action in response to the leader's command.
• Not watching the leader.
• Performing actions too slowly or unclearly.

Note:

• The speed can vary depending on the participants.
• The leader can use alternative words like 'advance,' 'retreat,' or 'snore' to add fun and trick players.

How to play:

The leader: Brings hands together and says 'The Bunny'.

The players: Repeat after the leader and bring their hands together, saying 'The Bunny'.

The leader: Moves one hand across the other and says 'Eating Grass'.

The players: Follow along and say 'Eating Grass'.

The leader: Puts a hand to their mouth and says 'Drinking Water'.

The players: Follow along and say 'Drinking Water'.

The leader: Puts a hand to their ear and says 'Going into the Hole'.

The players: Follow along and say 'Going into the Hole'.

Players must follow the leader’s actions exactly. Any mistakes will result in a penalty. The leader should gradually speed up and change the order of commands. (For example, they can mix up the words and actions.)

When the students are distracted and noisy, the teacher uses a command to get their attention:

The teacher: 'Where are your eyes? Where are your eyes?'

The students (pointing to their eyes): 'Here are my eyes, here are my eyes.'

The teacher: 'Eyes on the board, where are your hands? Where are your hands?'

The students: 'Here are my hands, here are my hands.' (Raising hands and waving them.)

The teacher: 'Clap your hands five times, now place your hands on the table.'

Alternatively, if the students are too loud:

The teacher: 'Where are your mouths? Where are your mouths?'

The students: 'Here is my mouth, here is my mouth.'

The teacher: 'Mouths closed now.'

Once the students are attentive, the teacher can continue with the lesson, which may include dynamic content with images. The teacher can also use fun gestures and incorporate various games into the class to keep them engaged.
